Operation
Display Overview
Main Display Screen
As you use the keyboard’s
Faders
,
Knobs
,
Pads
, and
Fader Buttons
while performing, the
Display
will update with the current BANK for the
last used control, the name/number of the control, the current level
applied by the control (
00
–
127
, if applicable), and a graphical meter
illustrating the level (if applicable). While performing, the
Display
screen
will have a black background with white text.
Note:
The
Display
shows the number of the software control, which does not always match the number of
the hardware control on your keyboard. For example, if the keyboard is set to BANK 3, and you turn
Knob 1
on the keyboard, the
Display
will read
Knob 20
, since hardware
Knob 1
controls software
Knob 20
when
the keyboard is set to BANK 3.
The
Faders
and
Knobs
are enabled with soft takeover. If you switch
BANKs and a
Fader
or
Knob
needs to be moved before it can take over
its assigned control, the
Display
illustrates this by showing a checkered,
gray meter underneath the control level. As pictured in the example to the
right, the BANK has just been switched to BANK 2, and
Fader 1
needs to
be pushed all the way up in order for it to begin controlling software Fader
10.
Edit Menus
In addition to showing last used controls while performing, the
Display
(along with the
Select/Scroll
Encoder
)
is your main tool for editing various keyboard settings, including the MIDI assignments for editable
controls, the settings for the keyboard’s internal functions (such as the arpeggiator), as well as global
hardware settings.
When you enter into an Edit menu for any keyboard function, the
Display
will show the name of the Edit menu, a setting field highlighted for editing,
a parameter field showing the setting’s current status, and graphical
blocks at the bottom of the screen to indicate how many other settings
are available in the Edit menu. While entered into an Edit menu, the
Display
will have a white background with black text.
To scroll through settings in an Edit menu
, turn the
Select/Scroll Encoder
while the setting field is
highlighted.
To select a setting to edit
, press the
Select/Scroll Encoder
while the setting field is highlighted. The
parameter field will then be highlighted.
To edit the setting parameter,
select the setting to edit as described above. Then turn the
Select/Scroll
Encoder
while the parameter field is highlighted. Once the desired parameter is highlighted, press the
Select/Scroll Encoder
to confirm the edit. The
Display
will then go back to highlighting the setting field.
To exit the Edit menu without saving changes
, press the
Back
Button
. To exit the Edit menu and save
changes, press the
DAW
Button
(if editing the User DAW), or the
Preset
Button
(if editing a Preset).
Note:
The settings that are available in the Edit menu may change depending on what parameters you
select. For example, the Arpeggiator Edit menu varies depending on the selected parameter for the
Arpeggiator
Type
setting.
